In addition to the US, the European Union and Canada, the United Kingdom is also imposing sanctions to neutralize forces that are sowing discord and security concerns in the country. The UK ratified the UN Resolution 2653 (2022) designed to target criminal actors, gangs, and their financiers whose actions continue to cause instability in the country. The sanctions, ratified on December 7, accompany the UN version effective on December 28, 2022, impose restrictive measures that consist of freezing assets of designated individuals and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available; trade sanctions that include restrictions on trade in military goods and technology; and travel restrictions on those targeted by the sanctions. The UK's action follows the EU's restrictions against gang leaders and their financiers adopted on November 28 and prescribe powers for the provision and sharing of information to help ensure enforcement of the sanctions. The resolution also grants powers to certain specified maritime enforcement officers to stop and search vessels in international and foreign waters to make sure no laws are being broken and when if illegality is found, specified trade sanctions and seizing of goods on board vessels are to be executed. So far only the gang leader, Jimmy Cherizier, alias Barbeque has been designated as targeted for financial and travel restrictions. - Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, Haiti News
